Vatican City, Jan 24, 2017 / 11:43 am (CNA/EWTN News).- To live a Christian life, we can’t run away or hide from God’s will, Pope Francis said Tuesday. Rather, we must continuously show up – speaking to God in prayer and striving to do his will.

“The Christian life is this: Here I am, here I am, I continue to do the will of the Lord,” the Pope said in his homily at Santa Marta Jan. 24.
